'the ozonized air enters the rear compartment and is thence conveyed to any desired point from the outlet 3, thereby furnishing ozone under pressure, a result which has heretofore not been obtained because it has been impossible to compress ozone for the reason that the heat of compression decomposes the ozone.

What I claim is 1. An ozonizer, having in combination, a dielectric, electrodes therabout adapted to furnish a silent electric discharge, means for conveying air through the silent electric discharge, a tank inclosing said electrodes and dielectric and a dam in saidtank, the said tank and dam being adapted to hold air as a cooling agent about the electrodes and dielectric and means for furnishing and supplying the air to the tank, substantially as described. i

2. An ozonizer, having in combination, a dielectric tube, an electrode about said tube, an electrode in said tube, the electrodes being arranged with respect to the tube so that there is a passage Way through the silent electric discharge, a tank inclosing the said electrodes and tube, a dam across the tank,

and means for, supplying air 'to said tank,

tube, an open-end electric on the inside of each dielectric tube and supported in spaced relat-ionii'ith respect to the dielectric so thatair is free to travel between the inner electrode and dielectric and also through the inner electrode, a dam across said air tight tank dividing the tank into two-compartments having communication only through the diele'ctrictubes and means for supplying air under pressure to one oi the compart.-
